Geriatric Evaluation and Management Unit

In the Geriatric Evaluation and Management Unit (GEM), consumers are cared for by a multidisciplinary team under the guidance of a specialist geriatrician with a focus on addressing the complex needs of aging.

The primary goal of GEM is to assess individual health concerns and establish a gentle rehabilitation program aimed at reducing disability and the potential need for residential care.

GEM services often support consumers who have experienced or are living with:

• the impact of falls
• dementia
• a variety of other medical conditions that impact daily living and self-care.
